I'm puzzled because the smooth wheels helped the drag yet the spat did nothing for the drag.
It sounds as if you mean that the front airdam keeps air from colliding with the tire, spoiling an opportunity for the spat to function, yet the wheel covers ( Moon discs ) functioned as they did, so plenty of air was getting to that area.
